Typical Applications
Use Overview
Use must follow the Guardian SRL instruction manual. The sequence below is an overview only.
- Inspect first. Check the housing, lifeline, load indicator, and hooks before every use.
- Test retraction. Pull the line and let it retract under control; confirm smooth payout and positive lock when jerked sharply.
- Anchor per class. Class 1 devices anchor at or above the dorsal D-ring; Class 2 devices may anchor at foot level per the manual.
- Connect the worker. Attach the lifeline hook to the harness per the manual and confirm the gate locks.
- Check clearance. Verify fall clearance using the chart on the label for your anchor height.
- Work in line. Stay in line with the anchor to minimize swing fall exposure.

- Lifeline: cuts, fraying, kinks, broken wires, or contamination along the full working length.
